Actually, "hippy" is a word, just not the one I wanted. Check

I suspect none of us is aging very gracefully. I too considered suspenders
a couple of years ago. I have always had a problem with short shirts. My
wife never used to complain about my not keeping the shirts tucked in, but
I'll be 76 this coming October and, apparently, things aren't as seemly as
they once were. I can't understand it. I still work out with weights, take
the dogs for long walks, but despite all that I'm probably still going to be
76 this coming October.
I think that the current fashion is to wear one's shirts not tucked in.

Be that as it may, I always hear my grandmother's voice whispering that I
should tuck in my shirt. So I do.
Oh, another problem I obviously have. I've forgotten how to spell. If my
spell-check can't correct it, neither can I. And it didn't have "hippie."
My email program, and my MS Word program do not recognize 'hippy,' so you
should have had spell-checking help from somewhere.
